Just started with a DE razor and what a shave. Best ever.
Reading awhile here and am glad I did. Below are the products I have chosen to start with and I am very impressed.
-Gillette Super Speed (purchased here from another member)
-Feather SS blades (very sharp)
-Opal Pure Badger brush which has been in my closet for 20 years or so.
-Taylor Avocado shaving cream (came yesterday)
-Proraso Liquid Cream After Shave (came yesterday)
Method of shaving
Shower-dab of cream in a mug- wet face again- run brush under hot water-work up a lather and apply.
Shave pulling skin tight- rinse with cold water- apply witch hazel- apply Proraso.
Could or should I apply the cream directly to the brush?
My wife couldn't believe the result so maybe we started a new friendship???
Please make comments and suggestions as this newbie only wants to get it right.
Thanks for all the help on Badger and Blade.
